Is it raining where you are?  I feel like it has rained here every afternoon this summer.  I have to say, I really love it.  Summertime thunderstorms are my favorite - especially when they hit at naptime, and I can enjoy the cozy rain and thunder along with the still quiet in the middle of the day.  It does somewhat put a damper on getting outside as much as we'd like, although it seems to help with the heat a little.  I was excited when Joules (a UK company new to the US market) offered to send some adorably cute girls rain boots over for Vivi Charles and Brigette.They have been super handy for all the puddle jumping my little toddler likes to do, and since rain boots are her footwear of choice, she is completely thrilled with them.  The little stripe down the back is precious, and they are super durable.  She wears them quite often - from the park to the pond.  Wish I had a pair (the women's versions are super cute, too; I'd love a pair of these!).Best of all, Brigie has a little pair, too.  She has a bit of growing to do until they fit, but I'm sure she'll be wearing them out before too long.

(Thanks so much to Joules for sponsoring this post, and thanks to you for reading!  I'm so grateful to the sponsors of Lay Baby Lay so I can continue to provide new and inspirational content while I stay at home with my girls!)
